Swain has 55% win rate

Yea boys, Swain is dead because of item 3033 http://media.lolusercontent.com/api/embedly/1/image/resize?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.lolusercontent.com%2Fapi%2Fembedly%2F1%2Fimage%2Fresize%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fimgflip.com%252Fs%252Fmeme%252FSatisfied-Seal.jpg%26key%3Da45e967db0914c7fb472fd4381e6c85b%26width%3D425&key=a45e967db0914c7fb472fd4381e6c85b&width=425 kappa

i can assure you that nobody is building this against swain, i did 3 game against him and my adc refused to build it, people are just don't want changes, but you will see in some month they will learn and swain's win rate will drop

A sample size of three literally means nothing. On my alt I have played a few games against swain.. one of them we had a full ad comp and our entire team had the item.

"just pick an assassin"

There aren't just AD assassins. AP assassins are also there. They aren't affected by the changes because they build like mages.

That said:

LeBlanc 46% winrate Katarina 49% winrate Fizz 50% winrate Nidalee 52% winrate Evelynn 51% winrate Akali 51% winrate for top lane, 47% winrate for mid lane And if you count Diana as an assassin too, she has 51% winrate on average

Champion.gg doesn't have the updated 5.22 win rates. According to the little blurb at the top of every page, it's still 1 day away.

Leblanc 47.2% Katarina 48.2% Fizz 50.6% Nidalee 42.5% Evelynn 48.1%

That being said, Lajneen's statistics are also off, though somewhat close. Perhaps not looking at all ranked tiers or something, idk.

Talon 49.8% Rengar 48.2% Riven 45.3% Zed 44.7% Kha'zix 44.7%

Source: http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/all/by-winrate

Still overall terrible for assassins.

But AP assassins still have higher average winrate than AD assassins.

This can be explained by the fact that their core items are overall unchanged, only their price is higher though.

My stats comes from http://euw.op.gg/statistics/champion/

Since time has passed they're slightly different now, but still terrible.

I just looked it up and it's 47% since the new patch came out. Plus Zed mains still have over a 55% win rate.

Gregor Gysi2 votes

How do you know what kind of winrate Zed mains have? champion.gg hasn't updated yet and op.gg shows a 43.3% winrate for today in NA (Riven has 44% btw). I'm really excited for champion.gg to update tomorrow, that's going to be fun :>

There was a 12% win rate difference last patch, if his average is 44 then his win rate with mains is still going to be around 50 or above it...

Lugg1 votes

Well the update just happened, and Zed has an OVERALL win rate barely below 50% with mains having over a 55% win rate as I stated and predicted.

I don't even have to check any website to say your post is full of bullshit.

no way can Zed after receiving countless nerfs this patch be near 50% in plat+ or even all elos tbh

They still use the previous patch's statistics, genius.

Lugg1 votes

But the win rate has gone up significantly. That shows that Zed's are doing REALLY well this patch.

Lajneen3 votes

His win rate dropped to 42% this update, get your facts straight.

He currently has the 4th lowest win rate in the game.

Look at the item builds ....

Lugg1 votes

Champion.gg probably has the best info in most cases. If you think it's a joke, that would explain why you don't understand League at all.

The best item build won't be known yet since all the new items have to be tested by players.

Lugg1 votes

I used the LOLKing stats until I found Champion.gg which is better. I did like the League of Graphs and I have added it to my bookmarks.

However, if you actually looked at the stats, Anyone who plays Zed more than 25 games has a 50% or better win rate. So Zed is fine, his win rate is just being brought WAY down by players who don't know how to play him.

Gregor Gysi2 votes

champion.gg just updated. You still didn't realize that champion.gg hadn't updated at the time you wrote. Now everything you wrote is completely obsolete. It's a fact that your whole argumentation is based on outdated data. Take a look at this. Zed is TRASH atm. BAD. Like really, really bad. Those with 15-50 games played don't even have 42% winrate. Beginners have a 36% winrate. MAINS with 125+ games (keep in mind, most of them have probably several hundred games) don't have a 48% winrate. Which is WAY worse than Anivia beginners. Dude. I know you dislike Zed, but Zed is BAD. It's a fact, whether you like it or not.

Lugg1 votes

My argument was made on the data at hand. His winrate literally didn't drop until 3 days ago. So either people have figured out how to itemize against him, it's a fluke and will even out eventually, or (the one I think most likely) is that more and more people are playing the broken champions which makes all the other champs look weak.

Zed hasn't been nerfed, so he definitely isn't trash. He will be back to a healthy win rate once Riot gets the game somewhat balanced.

The changes did not only make a few champions OP and broken. The changes completely shifted the meta, which is why every champions is weaker/stronger than before. And Zed happens to be shit.

He has been nerfed, lol. They removed W-Q animation cancel in addition to the unfavorable changes. There is no clean environment. I didn't say Zed WAS trash. I didn't say Zed IS GOING TO BE trash. I said that Zed IS trash. Which is completely right.

Lugg1 votes

Zed hasn't had a nerf since patch 5.9 when they lowered his teleport to his shadow by 1 second, which was then mostly reverted later on. The previous nerf to that was back in 5.2. I can't find anything in the patch notes about his animation cancel being removed.

Zed has NEVER been trash since his release. When they did the nerf in 5.9, it was the closest he has ever been to being balanced. Yeah, he is a difficult champion to master, but he is very strong once you get him down.

Gregor Gysi1 votes

Ahh no worries, it's completely normal that you don't find it. After all it's been like.. A week? Dude, it's in the CURRENT PATCH. Do you want to tell me that you are blind?? http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-522-notes STRG+F then "zed" Should I screenshot it for you?! Goddamn, first you insisted on not realizing that champion.gg hasn't updated and now you want to tell me that you can't remember the 5.22 notes?

Also he IS Trash. Right. Now. Trash = extremely weak to practically every other champion there is. Only Riven, Nidalee and Kog'Maw suck as much as Zed atm. AT - THE - MOMENT. If you 'master' Zed aka play him more than 125 games at platinum+ you will still have a 48% winrate. Do you think 48% winrate is 'very strong'?

Lugg1 votes

Dude, settle down, you're going to have an embolism or something.

The current patch didn't nerf him at all. If you actually read it, you would see that if fixed and exploit. That's all it did.

Zed, Riven, Nid, and Kog look to be weak and have low win rates due to so many champions that are in their roles are completely broken. I can see that you think they trash due to this, but once those broken champs get fixed, all of them will be back to good win rates.

Kog is a good example. He is the main ADC I play when I have to fill that role and he is nowhere near as bad as people say. People just need to adjust and get good. I haven't had much problem with him at all. It's just another case of whiny bitches crying because a champ is now balanced rather than being on the OP side.

nerf = weaken It was not a bug, it was animation cancelling that was well-known for several patches. Seems that rito wanted to weaken Zed because they thought he'd be OP when ADC's are strong, but they were wrong.

Ok, you don't seem to get it. Simple question: are Zed, Riven, Nid and Kog the worst champion this patch?

The list of things that took Riot several patches to fix is about as long as the dictionary.

No, they are not. Their win rates have dropped because so many scrubs were playing them for freelo. Once they got to a meta where they aren't OP anymore, the bad players couldn't win with them anymore.

Twitch, Morde, Urgot, Shyvana, and Ezreal are all worse than them.

I don't think your personal experience counts for anything.

I guess your personal experience doesn't count for anything either.

PD, DD, banshee, ninja tabi, and sustain in general are now the bane of assassins, the removal of flask even made assassins like talon unplayable in early game against Yasuo Zed
